For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion... |
| Prompt: "Every moment in your life tells a story." Write about this in your Blog entry today. *** Every moment of my life helps tell the epic story of me... Yes, I really am that awesome! ha ha ha ha I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't experienced life the way I have. Of that, I have no doubt. And, I like who that person is, so I wouldn't change the things I've had to experience to get here - to be me. I don't believe in fate or destiny. I don't believe things happen for a reason, or that some divine being sent these things to test me. Life is just life. It has very little rhyme or reason. It has its ups and downs. When it's great, it's fantastic, but there will always be just as many lows and constants. We can't have the highs all the time. I don't think any of us can expect to get out of this life without some type of emotional, psychological or mental scarring either. We all have our own brand and level of trauma. I don't see those scars as all bad, or believe that they mean I've had an unhappy life. My 'scars' are a reminder of the lessons I've learnt. They are also a reminder that I have healed. Some are more painful than others. Some still have an affect on the way I live my life, but they don't control it. Most have faded so much I can hardly feel them. There are definitely things I wouldn't want others, particularly my daughter, to experience. There are things I would approach differently if they were to happen today, but I can't change what has happened, I can only learn from it, make the most of it, and move forward. Some moments are bigger than others. Some seem massively important at the time and then we can't recall them properly three years down the track. Some are pivotal and, good or bad, they change the course and direction of our lives. Some change the very fabric of who we are. But we are also bigger than any one moment. We are a tapestry of those moments. This is one of the reasons I'm not overly bothered about getting older; don't get me wrong the idea of mortality still freaks me out and if a vampire happened to swing by and offer me immortality or at least delayed aging I would certainly seriously consider it, but I don't think I mind the greying hair and wrinkles - after all that's what pink and purple hair dye is for. |
